"Stage of Fools," Seattle Public Theatre, Green Lake
A scrappy feminist theater company is about to go under when they receive an offer they can't refuse: has-been 80s action movie star Jake Stone will endow them with more money than they've ever dreamed of, if they'll produce King Lear, with him in the titular role. Never mind that he's an entitled, egotistical blowhard. These women can survive anything for the sake of the theater they love...right?
A limited number of "Art is for Everyone" tickets available for $10. Click here for tickets, showtimes, and more info.
"The Little Foxes," Intiman Theatre and The Feast, Erickson Theatre, Capitol Hill
A dynamic new in-the-round staging offers an up-close view as Regina Giddens deceives, coerces, and manipulates her way into receiving her inheritance in this Southern Gothic drama. Have a devilishly good time with select 21+ table seating, complete with cocktail service and southern-themed drink offerings. This 1939 play and Academy Award nominated film is reimagined as a high-stakes spectacle: from a sexy cocktail party to a winner-takes-all cage match, audiences will be thrust into the action from the electrifying first moment to the play’s devastating final bow.
Intiman will distribute 10 "Free for Everyone" tickets starting up to 60 minutes before the show. They recommend getting in line early. Any remaining tickets will then be sold for a discount.

"Shrew," Union Arts Center, Downtown Seattle
Girl meets boy. Girl hates boy. Girl agrees to marry boy against her will so her sister can get married, too. Got it? Experience Shakespeare’s play of matrimonial misery as you’ve never seen it before. Shrew uses the classic text—inverted, upended, and overturned—to offer a modern-day perspective on how far we’ve come when it comes to love—and how far we still have to go.

"Godspell," IND Theatre, Rolling Bay Hall, Bainbridge Island
Godspell was the first major musical theatre offering from three-time Grammy and Academy Award winner, Stephen Schwartz (Wicked, Pippin, Children of Eden), and it took the world by storm. Led by the international hit, "Day by Day," Godspell features a parade of beloved songs, including "Prepare Ye the Way of the Lord," "Learn Your Lessons Well," "All for the Best," "All Good Gifts," "Turn Back, O Man" and "By My Side."
A small group of people help Jesus Christ tell different parables by using a wide variety of games, storytelling techniques and hefty doses of comic timing. An eclectic blend of songs, ranging in style from pop to vaudeville, is employed as the story of Jesus' life dances across the stage. Dissolving hauntingly into the Last Supper and the Crucifixion, Jesus' messages of kindness, tolerance and love come vibrantly to life.

"Almonds Blossom in Deir Yassin," Dunya Productions, Cherry Street Village, Central District
Set at the site of a massacred Palestinian village--Deir Yassin--which is now occupied by an Israeli mental health institution, this play explores the collective memory of the Palestinian people. Through a multiplicity of voices and vividly surreal scenes, the four characters deliver a profoundly relevant narrative about atrocity, displacement, human relationships, and hope.
Playwright Hanna Eady says, “Through remembrance, storytelling, and resilience, the play demonstrates the essence of Palestinian sumud, or steadfastness. This is not a passive quality, but an active one that perseveres through attempts to silence historical truths.”

"The Turn of the Screw," Island Shakespeare Festival, Various Locations, Whidby Island
Based on the 1898 provocative tale of suspense, horror and repressed sexuality, this adaptation gives the famous story yet another turn of its own. A young governess journeys to a lonely English manor house to care for two recently orphaned children. But she is not their first governess. Her predecessor, Miss Jessel, drowned herself when she became pregnant by the sadistic valet, Peter Quint, who was himself found dead soon after under mysterious circumstances. Now the new governess has begun to see the specters of Quint and Jessel haunting the children, and she must find a way to stop the fiends before it is too late. But one frightening question tortures the would-be heroine: Are the ghosts real, or are they the product of her own fevered imagination?
